Yellow curry pasta

Description

Yellow curry paste is a thick, intensely yellow mixture with an aromatic, slightly spicy, and savory flavor featuring distinct notes of turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger or galangal, as well as garlic and lime. Its creamy consistency comes from the addition of oil and spice paste, while its color is eye-catching and enhances dishes. Nutritionally, the paste is low in calories and rich in bioactive compounds found in spices, such as curcumin with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as compounds that support digestion and immunity. It is important to pay attention to the salt and oil content in ready-made products. The paste pairs wonderfully with coconut milk in curries, as a marinade for meat, fish, tofu, a base for soups, sauces, and stir-fries, and as an addition to dressings and dips. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 1–2 weeks or portion and freeze (in cubes) for several months, protecting it from light and heat.
